What a delightful way to help baby fall asleep by Counting Sheep! This warm and cozy blanket has a flock of sheep walking around the parameter of the blanket, led on each side by a fluffy bobble stitch sheep, followed by the more ordinary seed stitch sheep.

The designs are interchangeable, so you have the flexibility of changing the order and type of sheep on your blanket to suit your taste.

Need a blanket for a little boy? Change the border color to a more masculine tone, switch out the eyelet border for a garter or seed stitch border and you are set to go!

Knit in worsted weight yarn, the finished blanket measures approximately 32”x36”. The pattern includes 8 graphs with written instructions. Also included are instructions for the bobble stitch and picot stitches used for the ears and tails.

The blanket uses approximately 900-1000 yards in the main color and 150 yards of secondary color.
